I dunno why I feel so proud of making a comment that apparently amused the author. Still holding out hope that this was secretly the plan, and Brian’s just changing it because someone guessed it ahead of time.

There are so many questions I have about the mage-bound, the bonds they have with their outsiders and how this would translate to real game mechanics, but I’ll put all those aside to say that this is probably my favorite strip of the whole arc thus far (tied with when Trevor put Brett in his place). Awesome job, Brian. This arc damn well better not be the last we see of Karthun or I swear I’ll find a way to rage-flip the internet.

Dude! I’ve been on the edge of my seat this whole arc. I love the world building that went into this story, the tension that been building, and the feel of the game. Great storytelling. I love this strip.

It’s been an awesome arc. I’m guessing Brett’s bullshit is gone since he’s seen how good it is, even taking the worst of it via “drama” fudging, and that all he had to do was give it a chance… don’t think the method would fly with me (If anyone tried to blackmail someone at my table, they’d be punished accordingly, and probably not invited to return), but it fits the characters and group well enough…
